The New School Term has just started and despite the hype local schools appear to have bucked the national trend of underperformance at GCSEs. However, it is difficult to fathom the true picture because each school uses its own statistics for painting a rosy picture. Nevertheless, it is more than likely that the level of GCSE passes in five subjects including Maths & English at grades A* to C by the Black & Minority Ethnic pupils will not have changed dramatically. C P Message Highcrest Bucks Minority From Academy’s Education concern Steve new organise their third Baker MP admissions Page 3 policy annual conference Page 8 Page 11 MPA NEWSLETTER AUTUMN 2013 |Page 1 Whilst the MPA applauds all schools which are trying to cope with the hand given to them by the selective syste own workings especially whether or not they have the same expectations for all their children. There is now a determination on part of the parent groups to seek the reasons, from schools and education authorities, for the continued underachievement by the BME pupils and whether the extra funds provided by the central government under the Pupil Premium are making a difference. The MPA is aware that it is not something which can be addressed in a few years and yet when you look O ers of BME children have not only reached the national average for GCSE success but have even done better. So it is time the usual excuses were not so readily put forward to explain the gap in the levels of achievement of mainstream and BME, especially Pakistani origin, pupils. The MPA has joined hands with the Parents Forum for Children of African & Caribbean Heritage to set up the Bucks Minority Education Concern, which has planned its Third Annual Conference for parents on the Theme of T T S S C C S at 12.45PM for 1PM. The conference has Monica Austin, Headteacher at Ashcroft High School, Luton, (a mixed comprehensive which she has led from special measures in January 2005 to being judged as outstanding by Ofsted in March 2011) as the Keynote speaker, with a panel of local head teachers, governors and BMEC activists will answer questions from parents in Q & A session. A group of young professionals will relate their experiences of education, which hopefully will motivate the audience. The conference has also received a number of nominations, from Wycombe schools, for some of their pupils to receive special recognition for their contribution to school life and these pupils will receive awards on the day. The MPA would like all its supporters to join some very active people, working for raising educational standards for all our children. Please see the back page for more information. This year Ramadan came during the last few days of the summer term and with very hot days indeed. If the hot weather during the summer months continues then Ramadan 2014 will not only fall entirely in July, but will be hottest to date. We also wish to offer our good wishes for Eid ul Adha, which will be celebrated towards the end of October. The MPA vice chairman, Cllr Mohammed Shafique, MBE, completed a very successful year as Mayor of High Wycombe in May. His talents were recognised and he was appointed to lead the team organising the elections for the Mosque Management Committee, which his team successfully organised in early september; The MMC has been transformed by the elections. The MPA wishes the new team all the best for the future and thanks the outgoing team for all their efforts in the area of education. The World of Education/Taleem Ki Duniya (TKD) is a tremendous opportunity to discuss local and national educational matters (and dissemination of knowledge about other issues relating to health, diet, employment, taxation, etc) for the benefit of the Urdu/Punjabi speaking listeners and their children, who are the future for all of us.

    Feby 2019 Wil , wo’t o, wi y, wo’t o? Inertia is very tempting, and it’s normally easiest to say, “No”, or “Can’t be bothered” and staying firmly in one’s comfort zone, and under the real or metaphorical duvet. However, AHS students have been busy ‘seizing the day’ this half term and making the most of every opportunity as will be apparent when you read these pages. Our ears are still buzzing from two wonderful House Music evenings where the 23 Year 12 House Captains did a great job organising 201 performers to interpret the theme of Inspiring Women. Looking forward, a good number of students (167 at the last count) are travelling to Washington, Spain (2), Gibraltar, France and Italy over half term, so bon voyage to all of them. As will be evident from Highlights, students and staff alike have put in an enormous amount of effort this half term, both in and out of the classroom, so I hope everyone has a well-deserved break next week and, whether or not on a school trip, returns refreshed and ready to make the most of every opportunity that turns up at AHS - if in doubt, go for it!
